hi sorry i have posted this question before and i always get mixed answers so im not sure what to do,thats why ive directed at you tiktok hope thats ok, dd is now 8 months

its just for the water she has for a drink

robin, cleanliness or otherwise of water is not a specialist subject of mine, sorry

I'd tell you what I'd do as a mother though - I wouldn't bother boiling for a healthy baby of 8 mths. What a faff

ok thanks tiktok

I stopped using cooled boiled water at 12 mths (I just couldn't stop!)

yes, tap water in UK fine once they are 6 months.

tap water is fine for a drink after your lo is 6 months. It should still be boiled for formula.

When can I stop boiling tap water for my baby?
